If you want to get information about your tables and your database, there is
one way to do it that doesn't involve upgrading to Version 5.0 or using the
Show commands: you can write a Java program that interrogates the java.sql
classes, particularly DatabaseMetaData and ResultSetMetaData.

I have done this succesfully in Version 4.0 on several occasions.

Of course, if you don't know Java or don't want to write a program to find
out about your databases, this will not be an attractive option for you.
